A Construct for Effectively Implementing Semantic Associations
By: Charles A. Suscheck, Bo Sandén
Abstract
Associations are a key concept in object-oriented modeling. Implementing purely semantic associations with direct containment can lead to reduced cohesion and increased coupling as well as difficulties with referential integrity. Implementing semantic associations using the constructs shown in this paper will lead to domain objects that are more flexible and reusable.
